This kind of statement could help entice an average individual into buying their …show more content…
According to the company Training Mask, they have done an extensive research and clinical testing at the University of North Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) to modify their old training mask, but did not elaborate or explain the research and testing that they have done. The “2.0” before the product name signifies that the company did modified the mask’s design. They made it lighter and more comfortable to wear than the older version of the training mask. The company claim that the Training Mask 2.0 can help imitate and give an individual the same benefits of high altitude training without the inconvenience of going and training in the mountains. They also claim that the Training Mask 2.0 can improve an individual’s respiratory threshold, increased anaerobic threshold, increased oxygen efficiency, increased energy production, increased mental & physical stamina, and increased mental focus in a short amount of time (Training mask 2.0, 2016). They cited that the patent-pending valves can increase the pulmonary resistance and stretch the lining of the lungs, which would then lead to larger surface area of the lungs and increase in red blood cells and

William Shakespeare once proclaimed that “the past is prologue.” Are we really bound by history? Is our present a mere continuation, a monomorphic continuation if you will, of the novel that is our existence, or can it be developed in a bifurcated fashion? Paul Lawrence Dunbar, prominently noted as the "Poet Laureate of the Negro Race" (p 905) is a prime example of how the past can be depicted in a multifold manner. His two works " We Wear the Mask" and "An Ante-Bellum Sermon" illustrate the double-consciousness that Dunbar was most notorious for. It must be noted, however, that these two works, despite differing in forms of dialect, are conflations of one source, through an intrinsic connection. One will evidently see both the apparent polarity and hidden exemplification associated with the implementation of duality within the aforementioned poems. Dunbar's ability to conflate the standard English verse and the "Negro" dialect not only enables him to illustrate yesterday's hardships but also tomorrow's promises, in which each poem in itself epitomizes the properties of bifurcation through juxtaposition and exemplification.
The average speed of an indoor field hockey ball, when drag flicking, is upwards of 75 miles per hour. Avoiding the ball every time is almost impossible. Taking a ball to the head has the potential to shatter bones, or cause a serious brain injury. Dating back before ancient Olympic Games, field hockey is one of the oldest competitive sports; it has evolved tremendously since then. During ancient times, field hockey was considered too dangerous for women. Today, women play this thrilling game using stiff, composite, slightly curved sticks that range primarily from 35 to 39 inches long to hit a hard, plastic ball. For protection, all players must wear a mouth guard and shin guards. Many players choose to wear gloves, too, but they are not required. Over many years and numerous rule changes, women’s indoor field hockey has become a dangerous, yet exhilarating and fast-paced game. To play, each team uses six players at a time, usually five field players and a goalkeeper. Moving the ball down the field while keeping the ball on the ground is a huge challenge, but scoring and defending are, by far, the most important tasks of field hockey. Once near the goal, players are allowed to flick the ball into the air to try to hit the ball into the goal. Generally a passing game, it is likely that sticks will be high, and the ball always moves fast. In indoor field hockey, face masks should be required, to reduce external injuries, to prevent internal injuries, and to decrease liability for injury for the coaches and the venue.
Masking is it a good thing or is it a bad thing. Masking is when an individual modifies their behavior or personality to adapt to different issues. People tend to mask their feelings to hide their emotions from others. Some people use masking to cover up their feelings from when they are being disrespected and want to retaliate. Social pressures, harassment, embarrassment, physical or mental abuse are a few issues that causes an individual to mask themselves. The purpose of this essay is to examine the cycle of oppression Claude McKay’s “If We Must Die” in comparison to Paul Laurence Dunbar’s “We Wear The Mask” in regards to the poets understandings about concealing their feelings, being oppressed, and character.

“Be a man”, is on of the most destructive phrases to tell boys and men. The Mask You Live In explains the struggles boys and men have growing up in a patriarchal society. I chose to watch this to understand how men feel oppressed. All year, I became aware of females and their struggles in the patriarchy. It is interesting to see that men are affected too. The documentary should have had more personal stories because it allows the audience to connect with and have empathy for men. On the other hand, the movie thoroughly demonstrated the inner conflict boys and men face in society. Men feel they must be strong and dominate. They feel they need to hide emotion and empathy in order to fit in. They must be manly in order to
The Queens College/McArdle Step Test, the Rockport One Mile Walk Test, and the 1.5 Mile Run Test are three different field tests that were performed in this lab that were used to measure and predict an individual’s aerobic capacity. The measurement of aerobic capacity, or VO2 max, is a valid way to assess an individual’s cardiorespiratory fitness level. VO2 max refers to the maximal amount of oxygen an individual utilizes during intensive exercise. A higher VO2 max demonstrates a more efficient cardiorespiratory system as an individual with a higher VO2 max can sustain a higher intensity for a longer

In this video the speech influences the audience to give an infinite amount of effort in whatever they are trying to accomplish by using the rhetorical appeal Logos. Though the main focus audience in this video is more towards athletes that can relate to the pain of training for long periods of times, the speech can also help relate and motivate others in understanding what has to be done. Thomas supports his arguments through solid and rational illustrations and facts. He is very assertive in the way that he is speaking to the audience kind of like a personal trainer or coach which enhances the motivation of the speech to the audience that he is speaking too. Thomas begins with a rhetorical appeal about a story of a Guy who wants to become successful in life, so they guy goes to this guru who tells him if he wants to be successful as much as he is he will have to do it as bad as he needs to breathe for his life. He then continues with the audience and ask them if any have had asthma relating to his story with the guru because when you have an asthma attack all you have on your mind is trying to take a breath to survive. He stated this to give his comparison for the audience about breathing being a requirement of life and how in order to master your goals and be successful you must have a commitment and desire to be efficacious to accomplish the goals made by
Every practice, every time trial, every race, I carry my inhaler with me. My asthma is an obstacle that has kept me from enjoying cross country for the past five years. Less than a mile into a race, the wheezing starts. By the two mile mark, I can feel the sides of my esophagus enclosing as my lungs fight to receive air. By the 3 mile mark, my limbs have gone numb and my face starts to tingle from the lack of oxygen it is getting. By the finish line, I have passed out and wake up struggling to take breaths, while a paramedic coaches my breathing back to normal. Going into every race, knowing that you are likely to pass out at the end from lack of oxygen, is the most terrifying and discouraging aspect of cross country. And for the past five years, it is something that I have faced almost every day during each

Though this analysis is not based on the meaning of this poem, it is necessary that in order to demonstrate the sound of analysis, one must first understand the poem.
